Was there economic growth in the 1980s (other than the 1982 recession)? If so, why did the deficit grow so large under two Republican presidents? Didn't the GOP hold the Senate for six of those years? Ah, but it's all Tip's fault.
It sure looks to me like the CBO historical data says that your memory (that deficits didn't decrease until 1995 when Newt's boys took over the House after the 1994 elections) is simply wrong.
Why is it so hard for some GOPers to accept this, when even the someone writing in the National Review Online can? Bruce Bartlett:

Hamilton loved the national credit earned by a national deficit.
I guess you are opposed?
